The Trump administration’s newly launched White House App is under scrutiny after a software developer claimed to have found embedded code that tracks users’ precise GPS coordinates every 4.5 minutes and automatically syncs them to a third-party server. The claim, posted on 28 March 2026 by the X account @Thereallo1026, has drawn nearly 260,000 views and prompted questions about data collection practices in government-operated applications.
The post included what appeared to be decompiled source code from the app, revealing what the user described as OneSignal’s ‘full GPS pipeline compiled in.’ According to the post, the code showed the app ‘polling your location every 4.5 minutes, syncing your exact coordinates to a third-party server.’ The White House has not publicly responded to the specific technical claims.
I wonder if it’s so Trump knows where all of his supporters actually are located. If you’re trying to quell a future resistance, it would be easy to begin with pockets of the country that don’t have the app installed.
No not really
I wonder if that dumb ass has downloaded his own app and let a third party track the POTUS in real time. I almost feel sorry for the agents assigned to his security detail.
It’s already trivial to track the president’s approximate location if you’re a drone operator or hobbyist pilot because he has a 50 mile diameter no-fly zone centered on him at all times, which is plainly visible on the FAA maps.
